The petrology, geochemistry, and geochronology of hotspot seamounts in the North Pacific and arc/backarc volcanism on the northern Antarctic Peninsula

Creator:: Keller, Randall A.
Abstract:: Volcanic rocks from hotspots and island arcs/backarcs typically have enriched trace element and isotopic compositions that contain a contribution from subducted oceanic crust. Isotopic and trace element data suggest that the enriched components in hotspot volcanism are ancient subducted sediment and crust, and the enriched components in arc/backarc volcanism are...

Volatile mobility of trace metals in volcanic systems

Creator:: Loewen, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Semi-volatile trace metals like Li, Cu, Mo, Sn, In, and Pb have the potential to track mobility of a volatile phase in volcanic systems. In this dissertation four studies are presented that either directly investigate or are motivated by observations of trace metal behavior in volcanic systems. A common tool...

Geochemical and helium isotopic variability within the Lau Basin

Creator:: Goddard, Charlotte Ives
Abstract:: This research incorporates geochemical and helium isotopic analyses of Lau Basin volcanic glasses, along with helium isotopic analyses of water column hydrothermal plumes to better understand the processes that control the formation and evolution of this backarc basin. Lavas newly collected from the four southernmost segments of the Valu Fa...

The Nature of Sulfate Saturation in Oxidized Arc Magmas: Implications for Magmatic Sulfur Budgets

Creator:: Hutchinson, Michael C.
Abstract:: This dissertation is concerned with the behavior of sulfur in intermediate-silicic arc magmas associated with subduction at convergent margins. In particular it focusses on oxidized, sulfur-rich magmas, the conditions at which they might reach sulfate saturation, and implications of sulfate saturation. It is divided into an investigation of natural samples...

Extension and volcanism : tectonic development of the northwestern margin of the Basin and Range Province in southern Oregon

Creator:: Scarberry, Kaleb C.
Abstract:: The northwestern corner of the Basin and Range Province (NWBR) lies in southeast Oregon where extensive Late Miocene, mafic to bimodal basalt-rhyolite volcanism and extensional faults dominate a stark and arid landscape. Near Lake Abert, the Late Miocene volcanic section abuts Early Miocene, dominantly intermediate composition volcanoes at the Coleman...

The Geology, Geochronology, and Geochemistry of the Miocene Volcanic Rocks at the Inmaculada Ag-Au Mine, Southern Peru

Creator:: Cuellar Quispe, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: The Inmaculada Mine is located in the Miocene belt of epithermal deposits that extends from southern Peru to northern Chile and Bolivia. This belt is known for its silver-rich epithermal veins that have been worked since colonial times. The Inmaculada Mine belongs to a mining district that includes, from north...

The termination of the Basin and Range Province into a clockwise rotating region of transtension and volcanism, central Oregon

Creator:: Trench, David
Abstract:: Normal faults characterizing extensional provinces may terminate along-strike at regions of zero extension, at zones of transform faults, or at triple junctions. Termination of the Basin and Range extensional province in southeastern Oregon is thought to occur by right-lateral transform motion distributed across the Brothers Fault zone (BFZ) in central...

Two-stage opening of the northwestern basin and range in eastern Oregon : evidence from the Miocene Crane basin

Creator:: Milliard, Justin B.
Abstract:: New data are presented that provide evidence for the onset of extensional deformation in the Northwestern Basin and Range within 1 million years after the eruption of the Steens Basalt at 16.5 Ma. New geologic mapping (1:24,000), stratigraphic sections, and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating of the Crane Basin rocks provide a control...

The geology and geochemistry of the Sulphurets district porphyry Au-Cu-Mo deposits, British Columbia, Canada: Insights from a long-lived, gold-enriched porphyry district

Creator:: Campbell, Michelle E.
Abstract:: Porphyry Cu-(Au-Mo) deposits are critical sources of several economically important metals. The processes governing the total metal endowment and relative proportions of ore metals at these large magmatic-hydrothermal deposits remain uncertain. The Sulphurets porphyry district, in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, contains four porphyry Au-Cu-Mo deposits that each feature distinct Cu/Au...

Olivine and plagioclase-hosted melt inclusions and their application to determining parental arc magmas

Creator:: Kohut, Edward John
Abstract:: Three broadly interrelated problems of critical significance to the proper interpretation of melt inclusion (MI) data are addressed in this thesis. The first issue, the petrogenesis of anorthitic plagioclase phenocrysts in MORB lavas, has relevance due to the presence of numerous MI in many high-An feldspars. This problem was addressed...
